Probably, all of us got sick of sitting in our home without doing anything that benefits us physically nor emotionally. This happened due to covid_19 that started this quarantine from the beginning of March till now. Self isolation is the best way to ensure that this pandemic won't continue for long. But is there anything you can do in this situation that entertain you and at the same time teach you new things. Our application basically involves some challenges, games and chat rooms from different countries. In a simple way, the challenges orders you to do new things that you didn't try such as bakeing a cake, learning 6 words from a new language, doing exercise for 1 hour and so on. All of the games in this application depends on the internet in order to play as a team with your friends or pen pals. This helps you to socialize more often with your friends and even make new one. The chat room section helps you to communicate with people all around the world. There is GPS in this app in order to show you the users in this region or area to help you make new friends.
To conclude, I find that this app might help people around the world to socialize more in their own interests and this might create a new recreational environment in this quarantine till it ends.
The hardest challenge that is facing us nowadays is to fight the new virus and the boredom of quarantine , so we wanted to present an solution solving part of nowadays problems , entertainment apps are everywhere but we wanted to develop a new app with more than one feature , as it helps you to play , have fun , enjoy your time and communicate with friends .
NASA data was very important as” social isolation and space “inspired us with more ideas for the daily challenges in the app also its locations information will help to recognize information about users to make the app more familiar to them.
There are a lot of languages that should be used for example C, C++, Java, PHP,Python,HTML,etc.
Android studio can be used to make the application also kotlin android and kotlin iOS, this field is deep and you can use different tools to achieve your goal.
It is our first time to do an app project but we could learn the basics in these two days, also making UI design and a protype for the app was pretty hard but watching YouTube tutorials helped as to improve our skills in this field. The most important problem was the time, it wasn’t enough, just two days, but team work and time management helped us to over come this problem.
